1 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts. 2 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: Now. All of this is why. 3 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 3: The aliens won't talk to us. 4 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 4: I mean no disrespect to Congresswoman Waters, but somebody needs 5 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 4: to tell her that the voices in her head are 6 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 4: not real. 7 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 5: I'm less confident now than I would have been a 8 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 5: couple of months ago. They're not going to have a 9 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 5: nuclear weapon, so it's not going to matter from that standpoint. 10 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 5: But it would be nicer to do it without warfare, 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 5: without people dying, so much nicer to do it. But 12 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 5: I don't think I see the same level of enthusiasm 13 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 5: for them to make it deal. I think they're making it. 14 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 5: I think they would make a mistake, but we'll see. 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: I guess I'm but I know our time. 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 6: I know that you live at a I literally left 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 6: Los Angeles Sunday night. What is happening in Los Angeles, 18 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 6: and the way it is being depicted is not accurate. 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 6: We're talking about a square mile out of a five 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 6: hundred square mouse city. Most people are not experiencing it 21 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 6: the way we are showing it on television, and I 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 6: think we have to be very careful because there are 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 6: not riots in the street. There are some bad actors 24 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 6: and they need to be held accountable. But we have 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 6: to be careful what the language you use, because if 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 6: we say riot, we cause unnecessary fear, and the real 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 6: fear is when military people start flooding our streaks unnecessarily. 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: I say, really quick, I remember. 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 7: A few stand ups ago I talked about what terrorism 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 7: looks like. 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 8: This is it. 32 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 7: There should be no question to what our country will 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 7: look like. Have the Confederacy want? We're seeing it on 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 7: full display. 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 9: Let me, I have very mixed feelings about showing this. 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: To both of you. 37 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 10: It is It is news, but it is. 38 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 9: News from the Trump administration. It's a post from the 39 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 9: Department of Homeland Security that they put on x advertise 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 9: advertising a tip line with a poster that reads, quote, 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 9: help your country and yourself report all foreign invaders. This 42 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 9: is your taxpayer dollars farther than who you voted for. 43 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 9: If you pay taxes, your taxes are paying for this 44 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 9: ad being disseminated. 45 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: You provide an update on Iran. 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 11: We're hearing reports that US personnel are being. 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 6: Moved out of the region within striking business. 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 12: Well, they are being moved out because it could be 49 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 12: a dangerous place. And we'll see what happens, but they 50 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 12: are being We've given notice. 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 6: Is there anything that can be done to dial the 52 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 6: temperature down in the region. 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 11: They can't have a new clear, new weapon. 54 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: Very simply, they can't have a new clue. 55 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 13: We're not going to allow that. 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 14: I don't think this is something that's helping Republicans at all. 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 14: This is not what Donald Trump said. 58 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 6: He was going to do. 59 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 14: He said he was going to risk legal criminals, people 60 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 14: who are dangerous. 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 14: I think it's just sinks in that there's a fundamental 63 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 14: American quality to see masked unidentified men in guard you 64 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 14: can buy on eBay, picking people off the street. 65 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 15: He has a responsibility in all of this. He started this. 66 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 15: That should be no violence. He should not continue to 67 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 15: support violence. They should not be edged on and provoked 68 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 15: in any way. And that's what the President of the 69 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 15: United States is doing to exert his power and to 70 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 15: show that he's in charge, and to show that he's 71 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 15: going to get the numbers that he promised to get 72 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 15: to get people deported. 73 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 16: The Trump administration is going to continue the mass deportation 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 16: effort that the President promised the American public. It's part 75 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 16: of the reason we do need the One Big Beautiful 76 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 16: Bill to pass as well. May I add because the 77 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 16: bill provides funding to hire more ICE agents and border 78 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 16: patrol agents, more personnel on the ground to conduct this 79 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 16: important public safety work. 80 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: At Turning Point USA.

So we have 155 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 21: troops in Kuwait, we have troops in Bahrain, we have 156 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 21: troops in Qatar, the UAE, we have troops in Jordan, 157 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 21: we have troops in Saudi We do obstually, obviously have 158 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 21: troops in Iraq and Syria still, though not as many 159 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 21: as during the active combat operations Turkey, Djibouti, and all 160 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 21: across our naval task forces, including the USS Harry Truman, 161 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 21: the USS Carl Vincent, both aircraft carriers then you've also 162 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 21: got those at least six B two strategic bombers down 163 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 21: at the at Diego Garcia Air Base. Now that's in 164 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 21: the Indian Ocean, but because of their long range capabilities, 165 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 21: they have the ability to strike Ran, have ability to 166 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 21: strike deep into Sencom. They're supporting, could support Sencom operations. 167 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 21: Why a lot of people think that those long range 168 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 21: bombers were placed there. 169 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 22: So what we're seeing is this. 170 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 21: Drum beat of will the US back strikes on Iran? 171 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 21: NBC reporting that Israel is planning to take strikes on 172 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 21: Iran with potentially the backing of the United States, and 173 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 21: the US doesn't directly take. 174 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 22: Part in them. 175 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 21: Of course, the question is if Iran were to retaliate, 176 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 21: there's all these targets and all. 177 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 22: Of this US equipment personnel in the region. 178 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 21: The other side is Steve Witkoff and Steve Whitcoff currently 179 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 21: is also set to continue his meetings with the Iranians 180 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 21: later this weekend. 181 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 20: That's going to be in Oman, and Oman has confirmed 182 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 20: that the next round of US Iran nuclear talks will 183 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 20: take place looks like this Sunday, So either a strike 184 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 20: is imminent from Israel, Israel is signaling to the United 185 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 20: States to the world that it wants to move forward. Now, 186 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 20: President Trump, to his credit on this, has rebuffed Israel. 187 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 20: Actually that he did it in April once again in May. 188 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 20: The what is the urgency here, though, Jack, I mean 189 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 20: there there's reports that that Iron may already have enough 190 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 20: nuclear fuel material to create ten bombs? 191 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 19: Is that those are the reports that we're hearing? 192 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 20: Is there any other indication that we know what's forcing 193 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 20: this this urgency from Israel? 194 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 21: Well, those reports have been coming out for quite some time, 195 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 21: but the IC assessment has still and does remain that 196 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 21: the program for enriching that nuclear that nuclear capacity towards 197 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 21: weaponized uranium and weaponized nuclear material has been ceased, and 198 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 21: that has been the IC assessment for years at this point, 199 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 21: and obviously this being the real question of the debates 200 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 21: and these discussions in the negotiations themselves, the diplomacy is 201 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 21: all about this. And in fact The Guardian had a 202 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 21: piece a couple of weeks ago that there was an 203 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 21: idea floated by and it wasn't clear if the US 204 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 21: floated it or Iran floated it directly that perhaps, as 205 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 21: we know, there are negotiations concurrently happening with Russia visa 206 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 21: the Ukraine. So the question is that if it were 207 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 21: the Russians, who, of course is as people know the history, 208 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 21: were the ones who came in and finished the building 209 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 21: of that Bushir nuclear power plant in Iran, that perhaps 210 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 21: the Russians could be the ones to come in and 211 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 21: become the guarranteurs that this enrichment, which is something that 212 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 21: Obama never got. Obama never had any of this and 213 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 21: certainly not a permanent agreement at all, that perhaps it 214 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 21: was something that US and Russia could work on together 215 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 21: to triangulate on Iran, because of course they would not 216 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 21: have a nuclear program were it not for the Russians. 217 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 21: You tie that piece to the Ukrainian negotiations at the 218 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 21: same time, and this presents Trump and Witcock perhaps with 219 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 21: a grand strategy that they're working on together. And so 220 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 21: this pressure that's being put on this essentially is because 221 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 21: Iran has been degraded. They just lost Syria, they lost 222 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 21: a key ally of course in Assad, the Shea militia 223 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 21: groups have really been drawn down there, and so the 224 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 21: idea is that because they are in a degraded state 225 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 21: because of their losses, Law of Hamas. 226 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 22: Has central losses that have gone on over the. 227 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 21: Past year, that perhaps they wouldn't be able to strike 228 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 21: back with the force that they normally would be able 229 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 21: to bring to bear, say twelve months ago or eighteen 230 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 21: months ago. 231 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean Hesba Lah and Jumas obviously have been 232 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 20: massively degraded, and that was oftentimes the levers that the 233 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 20: Iranians would pull to exert you know, casualties, damages against Israel. 234 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 20: I want to play this clip from President Trump. He 235 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 20: went on with Miranda divine, and he's definitely signaling more 236 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 20: activity as opposed to positivity. Now again, he rebuffed Benjamin 237 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 20: at Yahoo's requests for assistance in April and May because 238 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 20: negotiations were ongoing. He felt that there was positive momentum. 239 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 20: Let's go ahead and play for seventy six. 240 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 5: I'm less confident now than I would have been a 241 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 5: couple of months ago. They're not going to have a 242 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 5: nuclear weapon, so it's not going to matter from that standpoint. 243 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 5: But it would be nicer to do it without warfare, 244 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 5: without people dying. Yes, so much nicer to do it. 245 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 5: But I don't think I see the same level of 246 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 5: enthusiasm for them to make a deal. I think they'd 247 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 5: make it. I think they would make a mistake. 248 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: But we'll see. 249 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: I guess time will tell. 250 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 20: And again Jack Posivac last night at the Kennedy Center, 251 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 20: he was asked about ran similar tone for sixty eight. 252 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 11: Did you provide an update on Iran. 253 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 23: We're hearing reports that US personnel are being moved out 254 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 23: of the region within striking distance. 255 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 12: Well, they are being moved out because it could be 256 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 12: a dangerous place, and we'll see what happens. 257 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 13: But they are ben we've given notice. 258 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 11: Is there anything that. 259 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: Could be done to dial the temperature down in the region. 260 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 12: They can't have a nuclear weapon very simply, they can't 261 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 12: have a nuclear weapon. 262 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 11: Uh, We're not going to allow that. 263 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 20: So Trump is saying they can't have a nuclear weapon. 264 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 20: This is what bb Ntyana who's been saying Israel has 265 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 20: been saying. There is a a push in this. They 266 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 20: believe Israel believes, according to reports, that there is a 267 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 20: limited window where Iran is still vulnerable and these uh, 268 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 20: these nuclear weapons are are not weaponized yet. 269 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 19: So more with. 270 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 20: Jack Pasobac on the other side of his break, don't 271 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 20: go anywhere. 272 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 24: Yeah, that was so good. 273 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 11: Give a Backtoms comps. 274 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 13: A good one, all three of them. 275 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 6: You never know what you get with the doing. 276 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 13: Number two very steady hand. It's very Only a steady 277 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 13: hand can sign like that. Right, So I've been told 278 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 13: that actually, and here's number three, and it all goes 279 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 13: into effect. Everything I said goes into effect. Lower prices, 280 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 13: better cars, and choice. You can say choice. We have 281 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 13: choice for education and you have choice for cars. Now right, 282 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 13: common sense is right, You're right. Common sense is right. Okay, 283 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 13: now I can give you a pen. 284 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 20: All right, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.

So, Jack, I have really two questions. 310 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 20: Do you believe that the US is going to be 311 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 20: involved in these airstrikes? 312 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 19: Is there an option where Israel goes it alone? 313 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 20: And secondly, and these are it's a bigger conversation, but 314 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 20: is MAGA behind this? Is Trump's support base of support 315 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 20: going to be behind something as kinetic as an active 316 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 20: military operation against Iran? 317 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 21: Well, and you're essentially what you're talking about here is 318 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 21: a proxy war, and this would be viewed in the 319 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 21: Middle East largely as a proxy war, the same way 320 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 21: that Ukraine is currently viewed as a proxy war between 321 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 21: the US and Russia. This is why negotiations but directly 322 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 21: between Ukraine and Russia have stalled out, because everyone knows 323 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 21: that it's really the US that's been supporting Ukraine all 324 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 21: this time, and that's why it's not going to end 325 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 21: until there we've seen the negotiation install we try to 326 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 21: go as a Lensky's Lensky tries to get Russia, et cetera. 327 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 22: It always falls apart. 328 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 21: Because everyone knows it's got to come down betwetween Trump 329 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 21: and putin for that negotiation, and because it is a 330 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 21: proxy war. It's not started by President Trump, but it 331 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 21: certainly is a proxy war. Nonetheless, this would also, I believe, 332 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 21: be viewed in the same lens as a proxy war, 333 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 21: with Israel acting as that proxy and then creating a 334 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 21: situation where the US would be blamed. The only difference being, 335 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 21: of course, that the US has so many forces that 336 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 21: are directly as I just outlined, directly involved in the 337 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 21: Middle East right now, whether it be at US basis 338 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 21: or at different areas around Syria, Iraq and elsewise. Now 339 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 21: you've also got the massive other corollary of the price 340 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 21: of oil. 341 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 22: So the price of wol shot up. 342 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 21: Like crazy during the opening days of the Ukraine Russia 343 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 21: War well, and the US at that time barely bought 344 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 21: any oil from Russia. Certainly still doesn't right now. A 345 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 21: JP Morgan is projecting that the price of oil would double, 346 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 21: barrel of oil would double if an Iraq or excuse me, 347 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 21: Iron war would break out. Potential straded for Moos closure, 348 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 21: where twenty percent of the world's oil flows through the 349 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 21: Persian Gulf. 350 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 22: So this is something where look, it comes to MAGA. 351 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 21: I think that I think that even if we weren't 352 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 21: necessarily the ones who were conducting the strikes, I think 353 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 21: that the United States would still kind of be be 354 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 21: on the hook for the bill. And that's where MAGA 355 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 21: would come in, because when people voted in twenty twenty four, 356 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 21: one of the biggest rallying cries of twenty twenty four 357 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 21: was no new wars. 358 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 22: There'd be no no wars, no World War three, that 359 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 22: we would not be. 360 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,959 Speaker 21: Pushing for these conflicts, that we would be stepping up 361 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 21: stepping back from this and pushing negotiations. That's Witkoff. That's 362 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 21: been Trump, That's been the piece agenda. And Trump has 363 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 21: always signaled that he wants his legacy to be this 364 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 21: piece legacy. 365 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 20: Yeah, I agree with you, Jack, that is going to 366 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 20: I think you put it really well, that MAGA is 367 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 20: going to see this as America getting foot with the bill, 368 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 20: even if we're not the ones pushing for it, even 369 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 20: if Trump has been rebuffing bb net Yahoo's push to 370 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 20: strike a run. Now, this was breaking from Axios in 371 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 20: the last twenty minutes here. Jack white House envoy Steve 372 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 20: Whitcoff privately warmed top sent Republicans last week that Iran 373 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 20: could unleash a mass casualty response of Israel bombs their 374 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 20: nuclear facilities. Apparently these you know, Iran has shot missiles 375 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 20: at Israel in the relatively recent past, I think it 376 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 20: was last year in response. These are actually pretty sophisticated missiles. 377 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 20: They have two thousand ballistic missiles. And Steve Witkoff said 378 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 20: in a speech on Wednesday in New York, it's as 379 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 20: big of an existential threat for Israel as Iran's nuclear capabilities. 380 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 19: Jack final word thirty seconds. 381 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 21: Iran is not the Taliban. Iran has a serious military, 382 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 21: has the ability to threaten. Israel has the ability to respond. 383 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 21: And certainly, if you were supportive of Israel, if you're 384 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 21: supportive of peace, and I think nobody wants Iran to 385 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 21: have this nuclear weapon. And that's why I backed the 386 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 21: agenda the President Trump stood for when he was on 387 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 21: all of those rallies in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan saying 388 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 21: no new wars. 389 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 20: Yeah, pray for peace, no new wars. Very scary situation 390 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 20: out of the Middle East.

It's just your. 478 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 20: Your initial response to what's happening in the Middle East, 479 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 20: and what should President Trump supporters, conservatives, what should we 480 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 20: make of it? 481 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 25: Well, first of all, the President is exactly right and 482 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 25: what he just said, and I certainly personally believe we 483 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 25: cannot allow Ran to get nuclear capability. I fundamentally disagree 484 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 25: with some of the people here in this country who 485 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 25: I think I don't know whether you want to call 486 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 25: him isolations or what. 487 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 11: I don't believe in all of those labels. 488 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 25: What I know is we need to defend our interests, 489 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 25: and our interests are certainly very much intertwined with the 490 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 25: idea that a RAN should not have nuclear capability. It 491 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 25: would be massively destructive to peace and stability, not just 492 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,239 Speaker 25: the Middle East, but to the entire world, including our 493 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 25: own safety and security here in this country. We know 494 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 25: that the leadership of RAN is radicalized, and they certainly 495 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 25: have no love for the United States of America. 496 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 11: They are our enemies. We know this. 497 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 25: So I be the president exactly right. And by the way, 498 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 25: he has given every peaceful path, maybe to a fault, 499 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 25: I say, respectfully, has given every peaceful path for I 500 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 25: RAN to try to take. 501 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 11: I think some of us would say, well, maybe even. 502 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 25: Opening the door to an agreement that maybe isn't strong 503 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 25: enough or aggressive enough. But bottom line is he's certainly 504 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 25: been trying. Because he's a president understands we all need 505 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 25: to be in forever wars. We don't need to be 506 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 25: in forever conflicts and endless wars like we work for 507 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 25: the first two decades of the century, but we do 508 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 25: need to send a loud signal. 509 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 11: And by the way, do I think Israel is going 510 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 11: to act? 511 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 25: Seems highly likely, certainly probable if Ran doesn't come to 512 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 25: their senses and come to some agreement. 513 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 11: That is reasonable. But you know what, Israel has acted before. 514 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 25: I think in like eighty two and like there's been 515 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 25: maybe an O seven, they've made strikes to take out 516 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 25: nuclear capability, whether it's Syria or otherwise, and that. 517 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 11: Didn't necessarily, that didn't trigger World War three. 518 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 25: Israel has a right to defend itself and ensure that 519 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 25: they're not going to have a nuclear capability in Iran. 520 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 25: In the United States, we have to defend our interests 521 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 25: as well. Pete Hegsett said it. Well, Israel has their 522 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 25: right to do it. They think it's correct. We need 523 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 25: to defend our interests and we will be continue to engage, 524 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 25: and I think the President. 525 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 11: Is right correct to do so. 526 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, and apparently one of the big road blocks, 527 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 20: Congressman is this is that Iran's saber rattling. They're saying, 528 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 20: in that case, America will have to leave the region 529 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 20: because all of its bases are within our reach. We 530 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 20: have access to them, and without hesitation, we will target 531 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 20: all of them. In the host countries. Uh, the minister 532 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 20: told Iranian press. So, I mean they're they're actively saber rattling. 533 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 20: That being said, Steve Woodcoff is still planning to be 534 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 20: in Oman on Sunday to continue to be the sixth 535 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 20: round of peace talks with representatives from Iran. 536 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:32,959 Speaker 25: You know. 537 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 20: The the the issue here is that even if Israel 538 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 20: goes it alone, America is going to be left hold 539 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 20: in the bag. I mean that we're going to be 540 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 20: embroiled in this conflict. I heard Trump this morning from 541 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 20: the White House. He's you know, you can see his 542 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 20: eyes on on oil prices. There's some predictions that oil 543 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 20: prices would could double because so much of the world's 544 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 20: oil is going through that region. You know, is there 545 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 20: support within Capitol Hill, Congressman for you know, enriching you know, like, 546 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 20: like you said, a deal that reaches a compromise where 547 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 20: they're able to enrich low grade uranium for nuclear energy 548 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 20: purposes or you know, something of that effect, or is it? 549 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 19: Is it? I mean Trump seems to be. 550 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 20: Sounding the no no nuclear fuel, no, no no capacity 551 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 20: at all. 552 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 19: That's his that's his line. 553 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree with the President. 554 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 25: I certainly think there are large quarters in Congress that 555 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 25: fully agree with the president. Again, this is a president 556 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 25: who has tried to see peace in every path, whether 557 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 25: you're dealing with Ukraine and Russia, whether as he pointed out, 558 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 25: you're dealing with India and Pakistan, now here with Israel 559 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 25: in Iran. 560 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 11: And again I would argue, and I. 561 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 25: Mean respectfully, Franklin giving in praise, he has been trying, 562 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 25: maybe to a fault, to give you know, exit rams 563 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 25: to Iran. But at the end of the day, a 564 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 25: nuclearized Iran is an Iran that puts the United States 565 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 25: at peril, and not just is not just vicariously because 566 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 25: they're putting Israel in peril, they put us in peril. 567 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 25: There are massive numbers of people in Iran, but particularly 568 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 25: in their leadership. 569 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 11: So there are a lot of people in Iran who 570 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 11: don't like their leadership. 571 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 25: They want freedom, they'd love to have, you know, the 572 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 25: Iran of nineteen seventy nine and previously. 573 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 11: And God bless them. Now you have a lot of. 574 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 25: Maridian Americans who, you know, they're just dying for Iran 575 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 25: to be you know, brought back again and out of 576 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 25: this crazy leadership. 577 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 11: But they do have crazy leadership, and. 578 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 25: They do have people there in charge of hate our 579 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 25: country and want to do as far the US to say, 580 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 25: we would be completely irresponsible. Just as they were irresponsible 581 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 25: to allow North Korea to get nuclearized, we would similarly 582 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 25: be irresponsible to allow Aram to be nuclearized. 583 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 11: And d state wives is the region, it also is 584 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 11: in our you know it puts US at risk. 585 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 20: Congressman, I want to turn our attention to some breaking 586 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 20: news out of your home state of Texas. Governor Greg 587 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 20: Abbott has deployed is in the process of deploying five 588 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 20: thousand National Guard soldiers in two thousand state troopers across 589 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 20: Texas to maintain order. This is ahead of, obviously the 590 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 20: no Kings protests that has planned for the weekend. 591 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 19: What's going on in Texas? 592 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 20: I mean, I think a lot of US are a 593 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 20: little surprised that Texas would have similar problems what we've 594 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 20: seen in Los Angeles. What's the update on the ground, 595 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 20: what can we expect? 596 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 11: Well, look, Texas is a great state. 597 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 25: We have leadership that isn't going to tolerate the kind 598 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 25: of garbage that we're seeing in California. 599 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 11: But yes, we're a state of thirty million plus people 600 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 11: and we. 601 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 25: Have some radical progressives who are being fueled by the 602 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 25: same people who are being fueled in California. And you've 603 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 25: got people that are throwing all of this into it 604 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 25: to try to destabilize and create chaos. We're seeing in 605 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 25: San Antonio, which I represent, We're seeing it throughout the state. 606 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 25: The governor's activating the National Guard to get in front 607 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 25: of this ahead of time, and he's writing to do that. 608 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 25: We're a long water state and we shouldn't tolerate it. 609 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 25: We acted swiftly at universities when they were destabilizing all 610 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 25: that stuff in respective Palestine and dangering our Jewish students 611 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,719 Speaker 25: and others, and we acted swiftly there. 612 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 11: We should act swiftly now, like this stuff is crazy. 613 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 25: You can't allow this to happen in a country that 614 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 25: depends on the rule of law in order for us. 615 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 11: To be able to advance and prosper. 616 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 25: And by the way, the least so many people want 617 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 25: to come to the United States is because we historically have. 618 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 11: Defended the rule of law. Cities burning is not the 619 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 11: rule of law. 620 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 25: The fact is the president and his people are doing 621 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 25: the right thing to try to remove these dangerous people 622 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 25: that are released into our country. By Biden, but not 623 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 25: just that, literally millions in violation of our law and 624 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 25: a parole and asylum that are then using resources, using 625 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 25: up our law enforcement, using up hospitals, filling our schools, 626 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 25: and we've got to have a pause. We've got to 627 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 25: remove a number of large number of people. And that's 628 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 25: what ICE is doing. And there's no apologies on this. 629 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 19: Right. 630 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 11: We're either sovereign, national or not. 631 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 25: And so these guys want to pick this fight, they're 632 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 25: picking the wrong fight. The President is correct to do this, 633 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 25: the governor is correct to make sure we've gotten National 634 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 25: Guard pulled out. 635 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 11: Our law enforcement need to act. 636 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 25: And by the way, a message to San Antonio, which 637 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 25: I represented others, you know, you need to step up. 638 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 25: The city of San Antonio, the City of Dallas, city 639 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 25: of Boston, City for Worth, Houston, they need to step up. 640 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 25: Even though they have more liberal leadership, we do not 641 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 25: tolerate lawlessness in the state of Texas. And so I'm 642 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 25: good for the governor for engaging. 643 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, I completely agree. If they can pull 644 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 20: this off in Texas, Congressman, it's going to send a 645 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 20: terrible message across the country and the blue cities are 646 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 20: going to burn even more. Somehow, your colleagues in the House, 647 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 20: your Democratic colleagues, they keep finding themselves on the wrong 648 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 20: side of sixty forty seventy thirty eighty twenty issues. Seems 649 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 20: like they're doing it again. Let's go ahead and play 650 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 20: your colleague. 651 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 19: Rep. Evette Clark four or five. 652 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 26: We still don't know the full consequences of this unprecedented 653 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 26: authoritarian overreach. But let me be clear, Congressional Democrats stand 654 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 26: in full solidarity with the residents of Los Angeles, with 655 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 26: our immigrants, sisters and brothers, and with the peaceful protesters 656 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 26: who dare to speak out and who will support every 657 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 26: effort to oppose this president's abuse of power. 658 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 20: So Democrats are drawing the line and sand they're standing 659 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 20: in solidarity with the immigrants. Now I have a question 660 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 20: for you, Congressman, if somebody breaks into the country, is 661 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 20: that how you would define an immigrant? 662 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 11: Well, notice she used the word residence. 663 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 25: She certainly doesn't care about citizenship or legal status that 664 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 25: has actually earned through the proper channels of law. Let's 665 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 25: remember that it was the Biden administration and the radical 666 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 25: Democrats and Congress who were using wrongly and illegally. In 667 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 25: my view, a bastardized a version of asylum and role 668 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 25: which were put in there to be very technical small 669 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 25: ways for people to come to this country if they 670 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 25: can make the. 671 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 11: Case that there's an exclusion that they should come here. 672 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 25: And they categorically released millions of people in the United 673 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 25: States that was in violation of her law, which means 674 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,359 Speaker 25: those people do not have legitimate status here. Okay, that's 675 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 25: just the truth, and so we've got to deal with 676 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 25: that reality. 677 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 11: Democrats are a course on the wrong side of this. 678 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 25: But let's be very bit clear, they're sending a really 679 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 25: loud signal because they're picking a fight even on the criminals. 680 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,439 Speaker 25: They're not just picking a fight on the person who 681 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 25: is here who isn't a dangerous criminal that was released 682 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 25: into our country wrongly and illegal and using public welfare benefits, 683 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 25: rising and raising our costs and so forth. They're not 684 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 25: picking that more I guess sympathetic example. They're literally picking 685 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 25: a fight on lawless criminals like the guy in mary 686 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 25: like others like this guy in Colorado that the you know, 687 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 25: they're trying to defend. That tells you where they're coming from. 688 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 25: They do not believe in sovereignty. They do not believe 689 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 25: in the rule of law, and we see that unbollieving 690 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 25: the dealer. 691 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 19: So Congressman, you were one, and this this is related. 692 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 20: You were one of the fiscal hawks in the houses. 693 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 20: The big Beautiful Bill was getting passed through the House. 694 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 20: You ended up being a yes vote. I think you 695 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 20: did that. 696 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 19: In good faith. I know you did it through grit teeth. 697 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 20: Everything you're seeing it, I think in Los Angeles around 698 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 20: the country is galvanizing the base around getting the big 699 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 20: beautiful bill pass to the Senate. Are you optimistic that 700 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 20: it's going to be improved in the Senate before it 701 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 20: gets you know, before this actually gets passed. You have 702 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 20: to optimistic it's going to get past thirty seconds. 703 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 25: Not unless the President is successful in getting the Senate 704 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 25: to understand that the House is the baseline and they 705 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 25: need to improve it. If they backslide on the green 706 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 25: new subsidies, green new scam subsidies, they backslide on the 707 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 25: Medicaid work requirements, they backslide on the spending restraint that 708 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 25: got us to at least sort of. 709 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 11: Believing that it would be deficit neutral. 710 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 25: I said that for a grit teeth like you said, 711 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 25: it's going to change and so right now I have 712 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 25: some real concerns. 713 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 11: The Senate needs to get it right. 714 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 20: God bless you, Congressman, you've been doing heroes work. 715 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 19: We'll talk to you soon.

They're threatening American military personnel 775 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 20: within the region. That's why we have moved people out 776 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 20: of Iran, out of Bachhran rather Kuwait, Baghdad, non essential 777 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 20: military personnel and their families. 778 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 19: They're coming out. Here's the deal Trump ran on peace 779 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 19: through strength. 780 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 20: Trump is often toubting the fact that there's been no 781 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 20: new wars, that he defeated Isis. We have been hearing 782 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 20: from the intel community for decades. It seems like at 783 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 20: least ten years, maybe longer. Blake can fact check me 784 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 20: on that. We have been hearing that they were on 785 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 20: the precipice of having a nuclear weapon for a long time. 786 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 20: Now we're hearing that they've made advances and that they 787 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 20: have enough fuel to basically create ten nuclear weapons, but 788 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 20: they do not yet have the ability to militarize them, 789 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 20: to deploy them, to actually create them, turn them into bombs. 790 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 20: Literally since the nineties, Blake says, we've been hearing this 791 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 20: and one of the biggest wins of trump Ism, of 792 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 20: the MAGA movement has been peace through strength, no new wars. 793 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 20: We have stopped the insanity of death and destruction in 794 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 20: the Middle East, and were. 795 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 19: On this show. 796 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 20: We're proud supporters of the state of Israel. Believe we 797 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 20: believe they have a right to exist, but we also 798 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 20: believe that something should be their problem and not necessarily 799 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 20: our problem as well, and we want to be enthusiastic 800 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,280 Speaker 20: supporters of their ability to defend themselves to live in peace, 801 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 20: but there is no scenario here where Israel strikes Iran 802 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 20: and America is not also embroiled in that conflict. There 803 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 20: is no scenario let me repeat, where Iran is struck 804 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 20: by Israel, even in a precision strike, where America is 805 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 20: not also brought into that struggle. Now, let me explain 806 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 20: why that's true. Because even last year, when Israel conducted 807 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 20: targeted strikes on Iran, missiles were then shot back at Israel. 808 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 20: Some were intercepted by the Iron Dome, others were intercepted 809 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 20: by US military. So if Iran, with its two thousand 810 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 20: ballistic missiles were to fire those back at Israel, America 811 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 20: would be forced to respond in defense of Israel, so 812 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,280 Speaker 20: that we do not have a mass casualty event. 813 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 19: And as Steve. 814 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 20: Whitkoff is now saying and has been reported by Axios 815 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 20: just moments ago, this represents just as big of an 816 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 20: existential threat for Israel as Iran's nuclear capabilities. So one 817 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 20: of the big instigating events here is the timing. Bibi 818 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 20: net Yahoo just survived a vote of no confidence narrowly 819 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 20: in Israel, so he's got a little bit of a lifeline. 820 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,240 Speaker 20: We don't know for how long. Domestic politics in Israel 821 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 20: is what it is. It's complicated business, just like it 822 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 20: is here. 823 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 19: And the fear. 824 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 20: Is is that since Trump pulled out of the JCPOA 825 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 20: in twenty eighteen, that they have made massive strides in 826 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 20: their nuclear capabilities. Bib doesn't know how long he's got 827 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 20: left to be in charge. He staved off this voter 828 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 20: no confidence just recently, but there could be another. And 829 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 20: the other issue is that Iran is creating a lot 830 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 20: of these ballistic missiles, so much so that they could 831 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 20: overwhelm the Iron Dome and actually cause a lot of 832 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 20: casualties within Israel. This is a very very tense situation. 833 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 20: Now here's the hope. The hope is that this is 834 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 20: all saber rattling, that this is three D chess, that 835 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 20: Trump is trying to send a message to the Iranians, 836 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 20: you better get serious, you better come to the table, 837 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 20: you better have your concessions, because this is real, and 838 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 20: I do think it Israel. I do think Israel wants 839 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 20: to actually strike Iran, which it views as an existential 840 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,240 Speaker 20: threat to the State of Israel and the Jewish people. 841 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 20: But I think Trump is willing to let a few 842 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 20: Domino's fall in hopes that the Sunday talks with Steve 843 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 20: whitcoff in Oman go well, and that they realize the 844 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 20: Americans and the Israelis mean business peace through strength. Trump 845 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 20: is always prone to saber rattling. He's always been willing 846 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 20: to rattle the sabers, much louder than many other people. 847 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 20: Hopefully this is brinksmanship. Hopefully this is brinksmanship to bring 848 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 20: Iran to the table. Now, Iran, as Jack Pasoviak said 849 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 20: earlier in the hour, is not al Qaeda. 850 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 19: This is a. 851 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 20: Relatively sophisticated military operation that is aided by Russian military 852 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 20: sources and technologies. And we have to hope and pray 853 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 20: that we are not embroiled in this. We don't have 854 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 20: the money, we don't have the Trump's base does not 855 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 20: have the appetite for this, and there is a desire 856 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,839 Speaker 20: for Israel to conduct its own affairs without so much 857 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 20: of our hope. Now, pray for peace, folks, Pray for peace. 858 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 20: That's all I can say. Pray for peace.

The activist groups are reportedly partnering to host them. 904 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 24: The Trump administration set marines and National Guard troops to 905 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,919 Speaker 24: Los Angeles to keep the peace, and Gavin Newsom has 906 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 24: this message for Trump. 907 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 10: Take a listen. 908 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 27: Look, this isn't just about protests here in Los Angeles. 909 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 27: When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, 910 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 27: he made that order apply to every state in this nation. 911 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 10: This is about all of us. 912 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,760 Speaker 27: This is about you. California maybe first, but it clearly 913 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 27: will not end here. Other states are next.

While some booed the President, many in the 921 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 24: audience met Trump with Chance of USA. Little mention was 922 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 24: made of the supposed ten performers who bowed out of 923 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 24: the performance in protest. Meanwhile, California Governor Gaven Newsom is 924 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 24: not backing down from President Donald Trump. He's telling the 925 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 24: nation Trump is destroying American democracy. Amid these anti ice 926 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,720 Speaker 24: protest in California and now across the country. 927 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 10: Listen to this. 928 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 27: Donald Trump, without consulting California law enforcement leaders, commandeered two 929 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 27: thousand of our state's National Guard members to deploy on 930 00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 27: our streets illegally and for no reason. This brazen abuse 931 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,360 Speaker 27: of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, 932 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 27: putting our people, our officers, and even our National Guard 933 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 27: at risk. That's when the downward spiral began. He doubled 934 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 27: down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by fanning the 935 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 27: flames even harder, and the president he did it on purpose. 936 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 24: Newsom wants control back of the National Guard after President 937 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,480 Speaker 24: Trump sent two thousand National Guard troops to protect federal 938 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 24: assets in Los Angeles.

I don't know if I 971 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 23: have the time, but I mean, look at the amount 972 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 23: of the bibliography here alone is like one hundred pages long. 973 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 23: It's pretty long, believe it or I actually cut about 974 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 23: forty thousand words from the original draft of that book 975 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 23: and it still ended up more than eight hundred pages long. 976 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:37,720 Speaker 3: Well, congratulations. 977 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,359 Speaker 4: I want to talk about this book in particular and 978 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,840 Speaker 4: the theme which I love to overthrow the world, the 979 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 4: rise and fall and rise of communism. 980 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 3: What is this book about. 981 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 23: Well, so, after the fall of the Soviet Union, there 982 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,839 Speaker 23: was a period of can almost called triumphalism. The most 983 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 23: famous phrase was probably Francis Fukuyama's talking about it and 984 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 23: the history we have the same that you yeltsin bellowing 985 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 23: on the tank. It looked like communism was dead, buried, finish. 986 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,720 Speaker 23: There was even talk about this kind of Nuremberg trial 987 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 23: for Communism that everyone was maybe hoping for, wishing would happen. 988 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,879 Speaker 23: In the same way that the Nuremberg trials helped put 989 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 23: Nazism to rest and ruined and destroyed its reputation. 990 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 19: Forever. 991 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 23: That didn't quite happen though, I mean I discovered when 992 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,759 Speaker 23: I looked into all, though I lived through it. 993 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: At the time. 994 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 23: I remember hearing about how the Communist Party was vaguely 995 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 23: on trial in Russia, but the details were a little murky. 996 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 23: I learned later what had actually happened in nineteen ninety 997 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 23: two was that the Communist Party had sued Boris Yeltsen 998 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 23: because he had outlawed the Communist Party, and his position, 999 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,880 Speaker 23: effectively was it wasn't just a party, it was kind 1000 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 23: of this criminal organization, conspiracy fusing together with state structures 1001 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 23: to produce this totalitarian impression. 1002 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 1: And they did talk about some of this at the trial. 1003 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,840 Speaker 1: But in the end, here's the thing. The Communist Party. 1004 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 23: Won and they were relegalized, and very soon they were 1005 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,400 Speaker 23: actually at the largest political party again in the Russian Federation, 1006 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 23: and they very nearly defeated Yeltsin in the ninety six selections. 1007 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 23: We also had China, of course, that was the discordant 1008 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 23: part about the story from the outset. If history had 1009 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 23: supposedly ended with this Western triumph, why did we have 1010 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 23: Tianneman Square in nineteen eighty nine in China? Made June 1011 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 23: nineteen eighty nine, this incredibly dark storing, this massacre in 1012 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 23: the streets of Beijing. And then of course the CCP 1013 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 23: endurers in China to this day, and you know, is 1014 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 23: given the world many treats. So over the past a 1015 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 23: few decades, the covid locks given. 1016 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1017 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 23: So, first of all, congratulations on your work. I know 1018 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 23: dangerously little little about this, but we'll we'll try our 1019 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 23: Compared to you, I know. 1020 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 3: More than the guy in the street. But so is 1021 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,359 Speaker 3: it one of the reasons of such a great point. 1022 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 4: I've never thought of it, that there was this clear 1023 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,880 Speaker 4: like we must put the philosophy of fascism on trial 1024 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 4: in Nuremberg to put it to rest. Is one of 1025 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 4: the reasons that never happened. Because the intelligentsia of the 1026 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,839 Speaker 4: West actually agreed with a lot of communistic Marxist precepts. 1027 00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: I think there's something to that. 1028 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 23: The pretense of communism, of course, was always that they 1029 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 23: were going to create this better world. It was a 1030 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,719 Speaker 23: sort of universal ideal, an ideal that of course has 1031 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 23: led to a lot of death and destruction, but an 1032 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,320 Speaker 23: ideal many people believed in. They thought inequality is wrong, 1033 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,359 Speaker 23: they thought it's not fair, that the rich have too 1034 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 23: much and the poor have too little, and that some 1035 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 23: people don't have enough to eat, and this idea that 1036 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 23: a vague version of this idea will always I think, 1037 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,200 Speaker 23: appeal particularly to younger people, you know, believe in whatever 1038 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 23: the phrase social justice or equity. I mean, we know 1039 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 23: that these words are loaded, but there's always some kind 1040 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 23: of sympathy I think that people have for this idea, 1041 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,320 Speaker 23: Whereas Nazism is a little bit harder to defend because 1042 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,840 Speaker 23: it was a little more specific to one nation, to 1043 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 23: one race, and it seemed to be chauvinistic and aggressive 1044 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,879 Speaker 23: and was associated with military aggression. It was not something 1045 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 23: that had a lot of admirers really across Europe. There 1046 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 23: were Fascists, of course, but I meaning once Hitler was 1047 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 23: defeated and of course committed suicide and basically it was 1048 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 23: no longer there. 1049 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 1: Nazism pretty much just died. 1050 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 23: It's not like there were I mean, people are always 1051 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 23: saying their Nazis under your bed and so on, but 1052 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,879 Speaker 23: in fact Nasium has been basically dead and disappeared since 1053 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 23: nineteen forty five. Communism, unfortunately, I think, in some form 1054 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,080 Speaker 23: or other, will always be with us, just because the 1055 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:16,840 Speaker 23: idea continues to appeal. 1056 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,759 Speaker 4: Let's define our terms, because I think that is one 1057 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 4: of the struggles. What is communism, where does it come from? 1058 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 4: And has it actually ever been fully implemented. 1059 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: Well, it's a great question. 1060 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 23: There are certain almost dictionary definitions you could start with. 1061 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,279 Speaker 23: You could trot out the manifest of the Communist Party 1062 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,919 Speaker 23: authored by Marxian Engels back in eighteen forty eight, where 1063 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 23: there's actually a program. They talk about things like the 1064 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 23: abolition of private property and exchange and credit, the centralization 1065 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,280 Speaker 23: of industry, of banking, they called it credit. 1066 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:46,919 Speaker 1: That was the word. 1067 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 23: They used, industrial armies for agriculture. The centralization of the 1068 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 23: means of transport communication, which basically means the government controls, 1069 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 23: the media, controls everything. Today it might be even broader 1070 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 23: than that, might be the internet, or it might be 1071 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 23: airplane travel. 1072 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: In that day would probably. 1073 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,879 Speaker 23: Would be the main roads, the main railroads, the main 1074 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,759 Speaker 23: avenue communication. That is, government control of a large part 1075 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 23: of the economy. And the destruction or eradication of private property. 1076 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 23: In practice, most communist regimes tried to do this to 1077 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 23: one extent or another. They actually would go out and 1078 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 23: they would for example, nationalize the banks, which effectively meant nationalizing. 1079 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: People's bank accounts, often their private savings. 1080 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 23: I mean in Russia they actually had an agency devoted 1081 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 23: to safe cracking, so they could crack into people's private 1082 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,919 Speaker 23: bank accounts. They would try to nationalize agriculture, they would 1083 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 23: create these collective farms or state controlled farms. 1084 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 1: In practice, none of these regimes ever quite succeeded. 1085 00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,840 Speaker 23: The Soviets and the Chinese probably came closest or maybe 1086 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,160 Speaker 23: in an even more I think draconian and dark way, 1087 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 23: the Khmer Rouge and Cambodian completely eradicating the private sector. 1088 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 1: But the fact is it's impossible to do that. 1089 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,000 Speaker 23: Everyone would basically starve, and so you've always had some 1090 00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,360 Speaker 23: variety of a black market or people trading on the 1091 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,760 Speaker 23: sly black markets appearing, and food stuffs and things like 1092 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 23: used cars to grease. 1093 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: The wheels of the economy. 1094 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 23: Because without that, and this very nearly happened in RUSSI 1095 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 23: in the early days after the revolution, the economy just 1096 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 23: basically collapsed. By nineteen twenty one, you had mass famine, 1097 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 23: you had an industrial collapse, manufacturing collapse. The economy just 1098 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 23: basically didn't work. And so for a while in Russia, 1099 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 23: amazingly in the twenties, they actually tried to bring back 1100 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 23: what they called They called it a new economic policy, 1101 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 23: but basically it was a kind of modified capitalism. They 1102 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 23: allowed people to buy and sell again, because without that 1103 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 23: everyone would have again, they would have starved. 1104 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:34,600 Speaker 3: The enduring take. 1105 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 4: That I get on campuses is what communism hasn't been tried. 1106 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 4: As a historian, how do you then respond to that? 1107 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 4: It's sort of true, but not really. It has been tried. 1108 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 4: It absolutely has been tried. It just has never been achieved. 1109 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 4: And so I suppose that's the kind of tricky. 1110 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 3: Parts, right, it's never been realized. 1111 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 23: These you've never been realized because it can't be realized. 1112 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 23: But it's definitely they always fail. They always fail in predictable, 1113 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,439 Speaker 23: reasonably similar ways. You get a collapse, particularly in things 1114 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 23: like agricultural yields, productivity, you get shortages, you get famines. 1115 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 23: Eventually you get even jokes about how hungry people are. 1116 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 23: Most of the jokes that came out of Cuba and 1117 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 23: the communist era, for example, had to do with food. 1118 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 23: You know, essentially it would be something to the nature 1119 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 23: of you know, walking skeletons or. 1120 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: Problems. 1121 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 23: A school show would be asking, well, what are some 1122 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 23: problems that the communist regime still tries to face, and 1123 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 23: he would list a couple and he would say, like, 1124 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 23: what do you think is the biggest problem. He would 1125 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 23: say something like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Basically just feeding people, 1126 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 23: that would be the biggest problem. And then you would 1127 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 23: get if they tried to nationalize the means of production, 1128 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 23: that is to say, manufacturing industry, you would get again 1129 00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 23: inefficiency eventually get collapse because they would try to plan 1130 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 23: it to the Other problem is you cannot plan an economy. 1131 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 23: It's simply impossible. You try to plan every single thing 1132 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,959 Speaker 23: that people are gonna need over a period of months 1133 01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 23: or years, you get things wrong. There's simply no way 1134 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 23: of predicting how many cars people will buy, how many 1135 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 23: industrial inputs a certain industry will need. The only things 1136 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 23: that worked a little bit, and this is maybe a 1137 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 23: slight exception of the rule, particularly in the Soviet era, 1138 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 23: are things that they would produce for export. And that's because, 1139 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 23: let's say, if you talk about the AK forty seven, 1140 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 23: for example, famous Soviet export or MiG airplanes weapons Basically 1141 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 23: because they traded those in the international market, they had 1142 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 23: to work the market functioned to some extent, but at home, 1143 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 23: if there's no market to function, the goods don't have 1144 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:35,800 Speaker 23: to be any good. 1145 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 3: We write back with more from me and Sean mcneckon. 1146 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 4: But first I need to tell you guys about Alan 1147 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 4: Jackson Ministries.

Private 1176 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 4: student loan debt in America total is about three hundred 1177 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 4: billion dollars. Forty five billion of that is labeled as distressed. 1178 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 4: You see why REFI refinances distressed or defaulted private student 1179 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 4: loans that others won't touch. They provide you with a 1180 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,959 Speaker 4: custom loan payment based on. 1181 01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 3: Your ability to pay. 1182 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 4: Why REFI is not a debt settlement company and they 1183 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,920 Speaker 4: work with each borrower individually, tailoring each loan each borrower's 1184 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 4: specific situation.

What is it 1199 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,920 Speaker 4: about human nature that doesn't mix with communism? 1200 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 23: Well, I guess it's partly that people's needs are various, 1201 01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 23: and the other thing is that people want. 1202 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 1: This is just pretty basic. 1203 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 23: If you're going to consume something, if you're going to 1204 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 23: buy a product or use it, you want that product 1205 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 23: to work. And the way a market economy basically works 1206 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 23: is that if your product is no good, people stop 1207 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,320 Speaker 23: buying it, so you have to either improve the product 1208 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 23: or you go out of business. And the problem under 1209 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 23: a planned communist economy is basically that there was no incentive. 1210 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 1: To either work harder. 1211 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 23: There was no real incentive to get higher wages because 1212 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 23: wages were supposed to be centrally controlled. In practice, they 1213 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 23: would give higher wages to skilled engineers and such, but 1214 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:35,200 Speaker 23: products would not be rejected by the market because there 1215 01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 23: was no market, and so you'd get shortages and you'd 1216 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 23: get shoddy products. 1217 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:39,480 Speaker 1: But I think. 1218 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 23: People's nature, the reason eventually would rub up against human 1219 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:47,280 Speaker 23: nature in a maybe more profound way, is that most people, 1220 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,439 Speaker 23: maybe some people do it. Most people don't like being 1221 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 23: hectored and surveiled and controlled and told what to do. 1222 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 1: At least enough people don't that. 1223 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 23: Fortunately, most countries have been able to resist the lure 1224 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 23: the temptation of commune in central planning. 1225 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 3: Is communism inherently to talitarian. 1226 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,520 Speaker 23: Not inherently in all cases, but it does tend in 1227 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 23: that director. 1228 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 3: Hasn't ever been to talitarian. 1229 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:10,960 Speaker 1: That's a good question. 1230 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,800 Speaker 23: I suppose the countries where communism was adopted with perhaps 1231 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 23: the least conviction when it was imposed at the point 1232 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 23: of a gun in Eastern Europe, for example, in Poland, 1233 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 23: a good example of this because Communism was so unpopular 1234 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 23: in Poland from the earliest days, because it was kind 1235 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 23: of seen as a almost alien im position by the 1236 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 23: conquering Soviet armies, by the Russians, who Poles generally had 1237 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 23: various reasons to resent and hate going back decades, if 1238 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 23: not centuries. 1239 01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 1: They didn't actually go as far as they did in 1240 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: other countries. 1241 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 23: So agriculture, for example, private agriculture was to some extent 1242 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 23: reluctantly tolerated. They did not go quite as far in 1243 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,960 Speaker 23: Poland as they might have done in other countries like Bulgaria, 1244 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 23: for example, where the communist regime had a little bit 1245 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 23: more legitimacy and popularity. It's a matter of degree, but 1246 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,520 Speaker 23: they all tended in the same general direction. You'd have 1247 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 23: secret police, you'd have surve you'd have state control, you'd 1248 01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,040 Speaker 23: have planning, you'd have production targets. I mean, the Cold War, 1249 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 23: one of the most fascinating things I had was even 1250 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,840 Speaker 23: the Olympics, which was this arena for Cold War superpower competition. 1251 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 23: They even would give assignments to all their satellite countries, 1252 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 23: what you're supposed to produce, what sports you're supposed to specialize, 1253 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,960 Speaker 23: and it all had to be planned from above. So 1254 01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,920 Speaker 23: everything had to be planned and controlled. And the problem 1255 01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 23: is most people would balk at that sort of thing. 1256 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,640 Speaker 23: It's just against human nature to constantly be surveiled and. 1257 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:29,160 Speaker 1: Told what to do. 1258 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:31,920 Speaker 4: I have a question on that and saying, why do 1259 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 4: the regimes end up so incredibly violent and so cavalier 1260 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:37,480 Speaker 4: about human lives? 1261 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:38,720 Speaker 1: Well, there have been a lot. 1262 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,800 Speaker 23: Of sympathizers who always say that there's nothing inherently violent 1263 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 23: in socialism or communism, And my main response to that is, 1264 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 23: you have to read the source texts. You have to 1265 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 23: actually go back and see what Marx was saying, see 1266 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 23: what some of Marx's own influences were saying. Somebody like 1267 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 23: Gracus Babuf, who launched the so called conspiracy equals in 1268 01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 23: the French Revolution which inspired Marx, was quite open about 1269 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 23: the that you would have to put class enemies and 1270 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 23: counter revolutionaries to death. Marx was quite open about this. 1271 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 23: He talked about, for example, from his political career. After 1272 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,760 Speaker 23: the Franco Prussian War of eighteen seventy seventy one, there 1273 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 23: was this brief period in Paris called the Commune, which 1274 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:15,960 Speaker 23: maybe wasn't the perfectly communist for. 1275 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 3: Jame, but it didn't. 1276 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 23: It didn't last long, and it went down in this 1277 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 23: horrendous blaze of violence when you had a number of 1278 01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 23: bourgeois hostages, including the archbishop of Parish, were executed publicly. 1279 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 23: A number of women and children were killed in the battle, 1280 01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,840 Speaker 23: and a lot of people told Marx, you should distance 1281 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:36,640 Speaker 23: yourself from this. 1282 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:37,320 Speaker 1: He didn't. 1283 01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 23: He went the other way. He embraced it, he justified it. 1284 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 23: This is then cited by Lenin. During the First World War, 1285 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 23: a lot of other people were really recoiling from the 1286 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:46,960 Speaker 23: horrendous violence in the trenches. 1287 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: Lenin wanted more of it. 1288 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 23: He wrote this thing called the Military Program of the 1289 01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,400 Speaker 23: Proletarian Revolution, and he said, no, Marx taught us this, 1290 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 23: that arson is a legitimate tool of war, taking hostages, 1291 01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 23: all of these are legitimate things. Class war. We need 1292 01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 23: to kill people. The violence is an inherent part of 1293 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,520 Speaker 23: the project. In fact, civil war. This was his phrase. 1294 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,040 Speaker 23: You have to turn the imperialist war into a civil war. 1295 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 23: And then once you've achieved communism in one country, that 1296 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 23: country will be effectively opposed to all of the other 1297 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 23: non communist countries, so it will be in a state 1298 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 23: of war with them. So you get a kind of 1299 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 23: wave of civil wars and interstate wars engulfing the earth. 1300 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 23: And he was not saying this is what I hope 1301 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,320 Speaker 23: won't happen. He was saying, this is what has to happen. 1302 01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,000 Speaker 23: This is what must happen. 1303 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 1: There maybe have been a. 1304 01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 23: Lot of sympathized who shy away from the violence, but 1305 01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 23: I honestly think if you look at the evidence, a 1306 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 23: lot of people who either joined parties or joined front committees, 1307 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,599 Speaker 23: or sympathized with communism, or spoke on behalf or defended 1308 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,000 Speaker 23: the Soviet Union.

They did 1402 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:46,040 Speaker 23: this after the Russian Revolution. Sometimes they would recruit former 1403 01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,599 Speaker 23: soldiers who were already alienated or disaffected, or already had 1404 01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,799 Speaker 23: kind of acquired a taste for violence. The real muscle. 1405 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 23: In for example, the Bolshevik Revolution read October of nineteen 1406 01:13:55,880 --> 01:14:00,400 Speaker 23: seventeen actually came from either deserters from the arm or 1407 01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,160 Speaker 23: people in the Russian Navy or in the Russian Army. 1408 01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 23: The so called Red Guards were mostly actually some of 1409 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,400 Speaker 23: them came from factories. Most of them actually came from 1410 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,920 Speaker 23: the army. And that's actually where Lenin got most of 1411 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 23: his critical support from. So they might be disaffected, they 1412 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:19,080 Speaker 23: might be unemployed, they might be veterans, they might be deserters, 1413 01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,160 Speaker 23: they might be criminals being let out of prison. 1414 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,760 Speaker 1: But yes, they're not generally the halves yet. 1415 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,759 Speaker 3: So here's an interesting quote. 1416 01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:29,840 Speaker 4: What is it about Russia when communism was popping up? 1417 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 4: I believe there was a failed communist revolution like nineteen 1418 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:33,200 Speaker 4: oh eight or something. 1419 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,200 Speaker 23: Right, So nineteen five was the first revolution which succeeded 1420 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,599 Speaker 23: in some wizzled out, it fizzled out, right. 1421 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:43,720 Speaker 4: What is it about what was happening in Russia at 1422 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 4: the time that made the what nineteen seventeen revolution successful? 1423 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 1: Mostly it was the First World War? 1424 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,800 Speaker 23: So, and this is where Lenin develops a theory which 1425 01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:58,719 Speaker 23: actually helps to explain how and why communists would later succeed. 1426 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 23: It was that in most countries there are kind of 1427 01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,960 Speaker 23: defenses against this sort of thing. Now you get your 1428 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 23: violent activists, but eventually the police might crack down. In Russia, 1429 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,519 Speaker 23: it was the disruption of the war, the fact that 1430 01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,400 Speaker 23: millions of men were mobilized into the armies. There was 1431 01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 23: obviously some war weariness, but mostly it was that Lenin 1432 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,960 Speaker 23: actually propagandized the armies. A lot of other socialists and 1433 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,080 Speaker 23: communists were a little more naive about this, you know. 1434 01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:29,040 Speaker 23: They thought you could convince people eventually through education or 1435 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:30,479 Speaker 23: the ballot box or reason or. 1436 01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 1: Something like that. 1437 01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:33,519 Speaker 23: They also thought the war was a bad thing, a 1438 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,120 Speaker 23: lot of them, not all of them, and so they 1439 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 23: thought you should, for example, maybe tell people to resist 1440 01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:40,080 Speaker 23: the draft. London said, no, you don't resist the draft. 1441 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:43,960 Speaker 23: You infiltrate the armies. You turn them read you propaganda infiltration. 1442 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 3: Philosopher and communists thought Olenski was very big into this. 1443 01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:49,960 Speaker 23: Yes, well, I mean he was the first to really 1444 01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 23: systematize it, but it was always there in a latent sense, 1445 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:58,719 Speaker 23: the anthem of international socialism. Ujen Pontier's Internacionale. The main 1446 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,600 Speaker 23: theme is actually about a mutiny, so it's about an 1447 01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,400 Speaker 23: army mutiny. And this is basically what happens in Russia 1448 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,120 Speaker 23: nineteen seventeen. It's like a gigantic mutiny in the Russian 1449 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,479 Speaker 23: armies that Lenin the Communists pushed along for their own purposes. 1450 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 4: Wasn't it a relatively small group of people, And if 1451 01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:16,840 Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, the Czar actually like shouldn't have surrendered, 1452 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,879 Speaker 4: Like the rebellion could have been thwarted. 1453 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 3: Well. 1454 01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,439 Speaker 23: The February Revolution, which is separate from the October one, 1455 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 23: is one where the Tsar probably could have intervened, and 1456 01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,519 Speaker 23: he nearly did. He actually did issue orders for loyal 1457 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,759 Speaker 23: frontline troops to go to Petrograd and suppress the revolution. 1458 01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,840 Speaker 23: He was talked out of it by his generals, who 1459 01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,080 Speaker 23: were getting bad advice from these liberal politicians. 1460 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:37,439 Speaker 3: The advantage they. 1461 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,680 Speaker 23: Did, and the Bolsheviks at that time were still relatively week. 1462 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:41,720 Speaker 23: Lenin's in Switzerland, He's not even in Russia at the time. 1463 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 23: He's barely metal, or he wasn't curiously enough, he spent 1464 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,679 Speaker 23: a lot of nineteen seventeen with warrants for his arrest 1465 01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,360 Speaker 23: plastered all over Russia because he participated in a couple 1466 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:54,080 Speaker 23: of failed pushes before the final one that succeeded, But 1467 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 23: you're absolutely right. They were a minority party in the 1468 01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 23: only real elections Russia had nineteen he's seventeen. They had 1469 01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,120 Speaker 23: made inroads, and we have to give them some credit. 1470 01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,400 Speaker 23: Just politically, Lenin's mutinies and his kind of message of 1471 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,439 Speaker 23: ending the imperialist war, even though people didn't realize that 1472 01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 23: meant he was going to promote civil war instead. They 1473 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,720 Speaker 23: eventually got nearly twenty four percent of the vote. The 1474 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 23: party was much smaller that the hard core of the party. 1475 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 23: That was part of his philosophy. It was called vanguardism. 1476 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 23: You had to have this hard core of this elite 1477 01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 23: of professional revolutionaries, so you didn't need to convince everyone. 1478 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 23: You didn't need to mobilize everyone. What you had to 1479 01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:32,439 Speaker 23: do was have this kind of hardcore of vanguard elites 1480 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,639 Speaker 23: who were they were more like full time revolutionaries. They're 1481 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,040 Speaker 23: actually put on salary in many cases because that was 1482 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,320 Speaker 23: the way of ensuring that they were fully devoted to 1483 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 23: the revolution. You know, you then needed the muscle, though, 1484 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,640 Speaker 23: you need the foot soldiers. And Lenin approached politics he 1485 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,360 Speaker 23: was actually reading Klousowitz. It's very much about force. Basically, 1486 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 23: you had to have superior force They would literally count 1487 01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:52,240 Speaker 23: up like how many men do we have under arms? 1488 01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 1: And how many men do or enemies have under arms? 1489 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,799 Speaker 23: You know, there's this very almost reductionist element to communist 1490 01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:01,679 Speaker 23: philosophy becames to politics and violence. Stalin would later famously say, 1491 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,640 Speaker 23: asked about the pope and his possible influence, well, how 1492 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 23: many divisions does the Vatican have? They're very very crude 1493 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,920 Speaker 23: and reductionist in this way that they actually did literally 1494 01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,840 Speaker 23: see it as you have to overwhelm your enemies by force. 1495 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 1: It's not really about persuasion. 1496 01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:20,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, power politics is at the core of communism. When 1497 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,880 Speaker 4: when Russia fell victim to this communist revolution, were they 1498 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,439 Speaker 4: a Christian nation overwhelming or that was the polity Christian? 1499 01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: Yes? 1500 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,000 Speaker 23: Absolutely? How did that work? That's always something I don't understand. 1501 01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 23: How did a Christian nation embrace Well, it's a difficult 1502 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,000 Speaker 23: question to answer. There are different ways of looking at it. 1503 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:42,799 Speaker 23: Some historians, and they don't usually tend to be Russians, 1504 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:46,520 Speaker 23: have proposed that there was something in the Russian Orthodox 1505 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,360 Speaker 23: Church that had always been a bit friendlier to state 1506 01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,599 Speaker 23: power than either the Catholic strained or the Protestant strains 1507 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:53,720 Speaker 23: of Christianity, and. 1508 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: It just thrown to the Czarist regime. 1509 01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 23: The state played a huge and powerful role, Peter the 1510 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,400 Speaker 23: Great for example, actually all the patriarchate. It came back, 1511 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,479 Speaker 23: oddly enough after the Russian Revolution, only to then come 1512 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:07,679 Speaker 23: under the thumb really of the Communists and the KGB. 1513 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:10,439 Speaker 23: There are a lot of Russians who find this offensive, 1514 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,600 Speaker 23: a lot of Russians who say, no, look are real traditions, 1515 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,160 Speaker 23: the Christian one, Marxism, Communism was this kind. 1516 01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,519 Speaker 1: Of alien atheistic import And it's true. 1517 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,519 Speaker 23: The Communists would go into churches and they would they 1518 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 23: would have these ceremonies, or they would expose old bones 1519 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,800 Speaker 23: and say, look, these are relics, these aren't real. They 1520 01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 23: would erect museums of atheism. So it was the world's 1521 01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:31,200 Speaker 23: first atheist virginal. 1522 01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 4: That's what I'm trying to understand, and I've never heard 1523 01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,640 Speaker 4: anyone explain it as well as you did. That in 1524 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,680 Speaker 4: order for a revolution to be successful, allegedly have to 1525 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,280 Speaker 4: win over the polity, right, was that what happened in 1526 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,400 Speaker 4: Russia or was it a small vanguard that kind of 1527 01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:45,759 Speaker 4: took the whole nation hostage. 1528 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 23: They did win over enough people so that the regime 1529 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,880 Speaker 23: plurality or a majority. Well as far as an electoral majority. 1530 01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 23: It's hard to say they did, because we just don't 1531 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 23: have the evidence. But obviously a lot of their enemies 1532 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 23: and opponents were either killed off or fled Russian immigration, 1533 01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,960 Speaker 23: the emigres, and they were able to propagandize, particularly the 1534 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:03,959 Speaker 23: younger generation. 1535 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: So they would have these. 1536 01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 23: Things like the pioneers and the constable to indoctrinate people 1537 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 23: into the faith. And they did ape or even mimic 1538 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:15,799 Speaker 23: some elements of the old Russian Christian tradition, the icons 1539 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 23: for example, that Russians would traditionally have over their mental piece. 1540 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,160 Speaker 23: Instead you would have, of course, images of the new 1541 01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:24,920 Speaker 23: sacred figures. Lenin later Stalin, so that there was a 1542 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,759 Speaker 23: way in which they Stalin in particular because he actually 1543 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 23: did have a background in seminary training, and so he 1544 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,680 Speaker 23: had some notion of how the people needed this kind 1545 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,360 Speaker 23: of religion. So they created almost a new religion, the 1546 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:36,400 Speaker 23: religion of communism. 1547 01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,719 Speaker 4: What was is there any credence to this idea that 1548 01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:46,760 Speaker 4: the Tsars mishandled the agrarian to industrial transition and this 1549 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,920 Speaker 4: opened up the Communists with an opportunity. 1550 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 1: To strike well. 1551 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:54,160 Speaker 23: Land reform was the great question of late Tsarist politics 1552 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,760 Speaker 23: in Russia. It was an extremely difficult question served and 1553 01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 23: endured right up to the eighteen sixties Russians life. To 1554 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,600 Speaker 23: remind Americans, serfdom was abolished one year before the Emancipation 1555 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 23: Proclamation of the United States, which is true, but they 1556 01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:09,360 Speaker 23: didn't really sort the problems out right away, although one 1557 01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 23: could say, of course, it took a while for us 1558 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:12,400 Speaker 23: to sort out our own problems. 1559 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:12,679 Speaker 1: Here. 1560 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:16,400 Speaker 23: They couldn't quite figure out, for example, did the serfs 1561 01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:20,840 Speaker 23: have to buy their freedom? Where they taking out a mortgage, 1562 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,160 Speaker 23: where they owned certain they owed certain payments to their 1563 01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 23: former lords. Did we want to turn them into these 1564 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 23: kind of entrepreneurial peasant capitalists. The one great figure who 1565 01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:34,040 Speaker 23: tried to solve this problem Pyotr Stalipin, and this in 1566 01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 23: the first decade of the nineteen hundreds. He did actually 1567 01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,720 Speaker 23: put forward some far reaching reforms, not quite the same 1568 01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:42,519 Speaker 23: thing as maybe the Homestead Act in the US, but 1569 01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:44,000 Speaker 23: it was kind of a similar idea. 1570 01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:46,800 Speaker 1: You would give peasants credit. They had a peasants land bank. 1571 01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,439 Speaker 23: They were trying to allow them to set out for 1572 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:52,919 Speaker 23: some of the virgin lands of western Siberia, to basically 1573 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 23: create these kind of almost pioneering type homesteads. 1574 01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:57,439 Speaker 1: And it was starting to work. 1575 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:01,160 Speaker 23: There was some evidence that it was working. Fortunately, Stalepin 1576 01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,800 Speaker 23: had warned that for this program to work and for 1577 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 23: Russia to modernize and enter the modern age, she needed peace. 1578 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 23: And that's why the First World War was so critical. 1579 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:12,479 Speaker 23: He said this, and I think nineteen nine, give us 1580 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 23: twenty years of peace and you won't recognize the country 1581 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,600 Speaker 23: that will be able to not solve all problems, but 1582 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,880 Speaker 23: resolve some of the tensions. The peasants would then become 1583 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,000 Speaker 23: a little bit more of a bulwark of conservatism as 1584 01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 23: they were viewed in some countries. 1585 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:26,840 Speaker 1: In Russia, they weren't. 1586 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,639 Speaker 23: Oddly enough, in Russia, there was kind of a strain 1587 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:33,120 Speaker 23: of almost this agrarian radicalism that would sometimes dfl yeah, 1588 01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 23: a little bit like this with they had this thing 1589 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 23: called a commune where they would divide land up according 1590 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 23: to need, and then every so often they would just 1591 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,760 Speaker 23: get these skies swinging revolts where the peasants would go 1592 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:43,120 Speaker 23: around and burn manor houses. 1593 01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:45,080 Speaker 1: Stalepin wanted to turn the. 1594 01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 23: Peasants into stolid, kind of middle class citizens, subjects still 1595 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,880 Speaker 23: probably because you had monarchy, but basically subjects who would 1596 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,720 Speaker 23: support the regime the First World War which broke out 1597 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,599 Speaker 23: nineteen fourteen, and Stalepin unfortunately was also assassinated in nineteen eleven, 1598 01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:02,679 Speaker 23: so that cut off a lot of these possible paths 1599 01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 23: that might have led to a really a more humane 1600 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,120 Speaker 23: and I think also a more prosperous Russia. 1601 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 3: Which it's just an amazing thing. I mean, you've written 1602 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:10,720 Speaker 3: about it. 1603 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:15,080 Speaker 23: How a great power like Russia this was Communist's biggest 1604 01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,880 Speaker 23: get to date. Is that fair to say that this 1605 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,360 Speaker 23: was the biggest accomplishment of the ideology? 1606 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: Well? Sure, and one can go further. 1607 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 23: I mean to kind of bring this story up to 1608 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,040 Speaker 23: Stalin and say that the greatest boast than any Communist 1609 01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:30,680 Speaker 23: regime has ever had is that Stalin allegedly industrialized the 1610 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,240 Speaker 23: country and then of course defeated Nazi Germany. 1611 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:33,360 Speaker 2: In the war. 1612 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:36,160 Speaker 23: How do you respond to that, Well, this is the thing. 1613 01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 23: There are some elements of the story. There's just enough 1614 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 23: truth in it that you could see why people have 1615 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:43,559 Speaker 23: made this argument ever since, and why the Russian government 1616 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,680 Speaker 23: to this day still views the victory and what they 1617 01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,719 Speaker 23: call the Great Patriotic War as kind of the glue 1618 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:53,720 Speaker 23: the origin story to some extent of their mythology. 1619 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 1: It's the core mythology of their existence. Right. A number 1620 01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:57,640 Speaker 1: of problems of this. 1621 01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 23: First of all, Russia was rapidly industrializing before for the 1622 01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,400 Speaker 23: First World War, with growth rates approaching ten percent, and 1623 01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 23: so not unlike China in recent years. Even if there 1624 01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 23: might be some holes in the economy we haven't been 1625 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,640 Speaker 23: told of. There are all these headlines about the stupendous 1626 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 23: growth rates that was the Russian story before nineteen fourteen. 1627 01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:17,719 Speaker 23: The Germans, for example, were not worried about the growth 1628 01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:19,439 Speaker 23: of Russian power in nineteen forty. This is part of 1629 01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,559 Speaker 23: the backstory of the First World War because Russia was 1630 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,320 Speaker 23: a pigmy. No, it was because they thought she was 1631 01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 23: a colossus, because she was the world's leading exporter of 1632 01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,600 Speaker 23: grain in nineteen eleven nineteen twelve, for example. So a 1633 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,959 Speaker 23: lot of the background of the story where the communists 1634 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,680 Speaker 23: is saying we were the first to modernize Russia is 1635 01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 23: just not true. In fact, the Russian economy, of course 1636 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,080 Speaker 23: suffered like all other ones did from the First World War, 1637 01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,439 Speaker 23: from inflation, and then of course from the collapse at 1638 01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 23: the end, and then from communism even more. 1639 01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:45,880 Speaker 1: When they did begin to industrialize Russia. 1640 01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,559 Speaker 23: When Stalin went back on the offensive, they had to 1641 01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 23: retreat for a while in the twenties again because the 1642 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:51,440 Speaker 23: economy collapsed. 1643 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 1: As I mentioned before, before we. 1644 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,920 Speaker 4: Heading to break, I want to tell you about relief Factor. 1645 01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:00,360 Speaker 4: That is relief Factor dot com.

A couple of great 1704 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:02,920 Speaker 23: examples of this. The collective farm or state farm Macacaus, 1705 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,880 Speaker 23: almost like the emblematic institution of Soviet communism in the 1706 01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 23: early nineteen thirties, was actually based on the wheat King 1707 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:15,240 Speaker 23: of Montana, Thomas Campbell, and it appealed to Stalin mostly 1708 01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,840 Speaker 23: because it was basically the world's largest farm ninety five 1709 01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:22,040 Speaker 23: thousand acres or something. A lot of the factories were 1710 01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,080 Speaker 23: not only designed, but often they were direct copies of 1711 01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:28,839 Speaker 23: those in the United States. It was the Arthur McKee 1712 01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:32,880 Speaker 23: Corporation that designed Magnita Gorsk, like the world's largest steel town. 1713 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:34,479 Speaker 1: A lot of the patents were bought. 1714 01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 23: Even the famous T thirty four tank was actually based 1715 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,439 Speaker 23: on a US patent design, the Christie suspension engine. And then, 1716 01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,439 Speaker 23: of course, if you bring the story through the thirties, 1717 01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,360 Speaker 23: there's a lot of important technology from Europe, from Germany, 1718 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 23: the Molotov fripintrup packed. The Soviets were buying up all 1719 01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,559 Speaker 23: kinds of blueprints and designs from the Germans actually weren't 1720 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:54,599 Speaker 23: buying they were sort of just acquiring men by trading 1721 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,559 Speaker 23: raw materials. And then the Lendley story, which is one 1722 01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,559 Speaker 23: of the big themes I talk about in Stalin's wear. 1723 01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:01,800 Speaker 23: What's really amazing about this is that for a while 1724 01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,320 Speaker 23: in the thirties, what the Soviets were doing, sometimes they 1725 01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 23: would do it. You know, they would actually pay for 1726 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,960 Speaker 23: something like the design for the Christie suspension they used 1727 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:11,960 Speaker 23: for the T thirty four tank. Sometimes they would use spies, 1728 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 23: so they infiltrated the US aviation industry. They had a 1729 01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:18,920 Speaker 23: team of almost thirty spies working in American universities and 1730 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 23: aviation plants Douglas Aircraft California, Bell Aircraft in Buffalo, New York, 1731 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 23: and they actually copied and then it ended up kind 1732 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,519 Speaker 23: of either stealing or adapting or reverse engineering a lot 1733 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,679 Speaker 23: of American designs after the US entered well even before 1734 01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:36,599 Speaker 23: the US entered the war in nineteen forty one. After 1735 01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,080 Speaker 23: Hitler turned on Stalin and vaded the Soviet Union in 1736 01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,719 Speaker 23: June forty one, they didn't have to spy anymore because 1737 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,880 Speaker 23: the Roosevelt administration just gave them everything. They literally would 1738 01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 23: just let Soviet engineers tour around American factories, taking notes, 1739 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:53,599 Speaker 23: taking photographs. Oftentimes they would just ask for things. It's 1740 01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,679 Speaker 23: an amazing aspect of the story. They were actually given 1741 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,960 Speaker 23: the same requisition forms used by the US Army, and 1742 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:01,360 Speaker 23: in fact they were often put at the front of 1743 01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:05,080 Speaker 23: the line. The Arcadia Declaration. This is right after Pearl Harbor. 1744 01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 23: Roosevelt sort of bullied Churchill and do agree with us 1745 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:11,120 Speaker 23: Churchill like the focus on Europe, but the secondary part 1746 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,280 Speaker 23: that is Germany first. The secondary part was that the 1747 01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:15,840 Speaker 23: number one priority of the US, Roosevelt declared in the 1748 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:19,479 Speaker 23: wake of Pearl Harbor, was assistance to Russia's offensive by 1749 01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:22,840 Speaker 23: all available means, Meaning our number one priority was not 1750 01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:26,520 Speaker 23: defeating Japan, was not even fighting Germany ourselves. 1751 01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:28,680 Speaker 1: It was supplying the Russian. 1752 01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:29,800 Speaker 3: Army creating the Cold War. 1753 01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:33,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, basically yes, arming our future opponents in the Cold War. 1754 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,000 Speaker 4: I have a side note question that I actually I 1755 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:36,800 Speaker 4: wouldn't be able to answer.
